WASHINGTON HAND PRINTING PRESS. 


The celebrity which our patent Washington Hand Presses have obtained during the 
past forty years renders any remarks upon their superiority unnecessary. They are 
elegant in appearance, simple, quick, and powerful in operation, and combine every 
facility for the production of superior printing.

Directions for Erecting Washington Hand Presses. 

Observe that all the connecting parts are marked or indented by points. 

After setting the frame upon its legs, and putting on the ribs and bed, lay 
the platen on the bed, placing under it two bearers about type high. Place 
the rods so that the indentations on them correspond with those on the platen. 
Run in the bed so as to bring the platen under the rods, and screw them fast 
to the platen, after which put in the bar-handle, standard, and lever, observ¬ 
ing at the same time to get the surface of the platen parallel with the surface 
of the bed. 

After having put the press together and leveled it, be particular not to 
raise the end of the ribs by the pedestal, but let it go under rather loose, 
which will have a tendency to make the bed slide with more ease on the ribs. 

I3P See that the different parts of the press are well oiled before starting, 
and do not take a “pull” until the bed is completely run in to its place.

HINTS TO 

See that the machine offered for sale, 
whether new or second hand, is strong and 
well made. Consider the standing of the 
maker, both as a mechanician and machin¬ 
ist. A light-framed or shackly-fitted machine 
will be dear at any price. Do not be deceived i 
by any beauty of paint or finish on exposed | 
work, which adds nothing to the usefulness 
of the machine, and which may draw the eye j 


BUYERS. 

from an examination of the working parts. 
Uncover the boxes, and see whether the fin¬ 
ish of shafts in their bearings, and of jour¬ 
nals, is as smooth and true as the white and 
brass work of more exposed pieces. Take out 
here and there, screws and bolts; see if the 
threads are deep, sharp, and clean-fitting. 
Look closely at the fitting of all toothed or 
pinion wheels; note whether they have been

cast and filed to fit, or whether they have 
been accurately cut by automatic machinery, 
so that they will fit in any position. Slowly 
turn pinion wheels, and note whether there 
is any rattling or lost motion, or whether the 
teeth fit snugly, yet freely, so as to give even, 
steady motion. Closely examine all castings 
for pin holes or air bubbles, which may be 
most easily detected in work that has been 
planed. See that castings are heavy as well 


as solid. Look after oil holes and provision 
for oiling. See that castings are neatly fitted ; 
that they do not show the marks of the ham¬ 
mer or file, which must be used to connect 
them if they have been forced or badly put 
together. Pay attention to the noise made 
by the machine when in motion; if fairly 
fitted, the noise will be uniform; if badly 
fitted, it will be valuable or grating. This 
can readily be detected.

LOCAL TICKET PRESS. 


Weight, boxed, 625 lbs. 
Price.$700.00 


The construction of this convenient 
and rapid little machine is sufficiently 
shown in the cut. It is entirely self¬ 
acting— taking the cards from a re¬ 
ceiver, printing and numbering in one 
color up to 100,000, and depositing, face 
uppermost, in numerical order, at the 
rate of 10,000 per hour. It prints only 
one size of ticket, viz., 1$ x 2^ inches. 
The tickets pass in sideways, not end¬ 
ways, and only two are in the machine 
at once, so that a trifling variation from 
perfect accuracy in size causes no em¬ 
barrassment. It lias one form roller, 
is provided with ink fountain, and ar¬ 
ranged to run either by hand or steam 
power.

Classify the addresses by putting all that take two lines in galleys by 
themselves, as also those of three and four lines. If it should be required to 
have a two-line address in a three-line galley, put in an extra reglet, so that 
it will occupy the same space as the three-line address. In each set of 
galleys the addresses should follow in the geographical order of the States, 
thus: Maine, Xew Hampshire , Vermont, Massachusetts, etc. 

The space and bell reglets should be of wood, as it is desirable to have the 
galleys as light as possible, so that they will move along easily when printing. 
Lock them up as tight as they will bear without springing, and handle them 
carefully when filled, so as not to bend them. 

When the galleys are properly filled and ready to print from, apply the 
ink and enter a galley foot foremost into the groove of the left-hand end of 
the machine, and push it forward by the treadle until an address comes 
under the opening between the shields. Adjust the bolt in the slot of the 
hammer arm so that the sliding pawl will just bring forward another address 
at each stroke of the treadle. Set the sliding shield so as to leave only the 
address exposed, turn down the hammer face that corresponds to the width 
of the address, and print all the galleys of that set, if convenient, before 
changing to another set. 

When five or more papers are sent to the same post-office, they are usually 
put in wrappers containing from five to fifteen each. In printing these, the 
machine begins at the foot of the galley, and the addresses are successively 
printed on the papers until the projecting nib on the bell reglets, which 
extends over the opposite side of the galley, strikes the bell lever in passing 
it and rings the bell, which indicates that the next is the post-office address 
of this list. This may be printed on a wrapper sufficiently large to inclose 
from five to fifteen papers, or it may be printed on a small piece of paper 
that is laid away with the papers to designate them. A good plan is to print 
these addresses in advance on narrow slips, that are afterward put around 
each paper, and to lay these slips away inside of their respective printed 
wrappers until required. In this way all the printing can be done in advance 
of the day of publication. All addresses should consist of at least two lines, 
thus:

Chicago, III. 

even those that are put up in packages; then, if a package should accident¬ 
ally be broken open, the papers would still reach their destination.

6 INCH GERMAN SILVER STICKS. 

Depth, 2 inches, $2.00; 2$ inches, $2.25; 2£ inches, $2.50. 

In the reversible knee, the clamp does not project under the bottom of 
shell, but slides along the bead on the back, so that a proof can be taken 
from matter in the stick. The bead adds stiffness to the shell, and the inclined 
position of the screw binds the point of the knee closely against the bottom. 
The knee can be set instantly and firmly to any position, and when worn it 
can be reversed, so as to present a fresh side to the type, thus doubling the 
life of the stick.

ABOUT CHOICE OF INK. 


Ink should always he selected to suit the 
paper it will he used upon : for cheap paper, 
cheap ink; for fine paper, fine ink. At 
least three qualities—hook, news, and fine 
joh—should always be kept in stock hy a 
printer who does miscellaneous work. Other 
qualities will often he needed. The speed of i 
a press will be largely controlled by the ink. 

If it is oily or gritty, if it dries on rollers, or ; 
sets off, or does not dry quickly, or does not 
keep its color on paper, it will seriously hin¬ 
der the pressman. As the finest black inks 


are usually of stiff body, and distribute with 
difficulty, they can be used to advantage 
only on presses that have ample provision 
for distribution. When ink of this nature 
is provided for paper of soft stock, the 
speed of the press must be reduced, to 
prevent the ink from tearing the paper 
when the paper leaves the form after im¬ 
pression. Ink tables need frequent clean¬ 
ing, and the ink fountain should always be 
covered, to keep out the dust and floating 
particles of paper.

HINTS ON THE PURCHASE OF TYPE. 


Select faces and bodies carefully. Buy 
according to your ability and need, but 
only what you can use to profit. Con¬ 
sider well bow you can use a face before 
you purchase it. Don’t buy it because it 
is a pretty style. It may be pretty, and 
yet unsuitable for general work. 

Give preference to the regular bodies of 
Roman type — pearl, nonpareil, brevier, 
long primer, pica, great primer, double 
small pica, and the multiples of pica. 

Get as large fonts as you can afford to 
buy. One font of 500 pounds of long 
primer is more useful and more durable 
than two fonts of long primer and bour¬ 
geois, each of 250 pounds. Small fonts are 
always unequally and unduly worn. The two 
small fonts will cost more, earn less, and 
wear out sooner than one large font. 

Select uniform faces as far as possible. 
The symmetry of harmonious faces is always 
pleasing. For a very large office, it may be 
judicious to get a series of two or three styles 
of faces. In such case, let these series be very 
perceptibly unlike. But in all cases maintain 
the uniformity of each series. Do not allow 
your customers to choose for you. To buy 
faces without system, to please a passing 
fancy, is sure to make great trouble. It is 
impossible to keep them separate, and yet, 
when mixed, they make the greatest confu¬ 
sion and loss. 


Order sorts suitable for your own pecul¬ 
iar class of work. The assortment sold by 
the founder is for general work only. The 
special work that may require a profusion 
of figures, capitals, points, accents, etc., 
must have these special sorts added to the 
font. 

For job work, get abundance of quadrats 
— double or treble the ordinary supply. 
To limit the font to the allowance of the 
type-founder’s scheme is to deprive the office 
of all the advantages of fat matter, of poetry, 
and of tables, etc. With an insufficient sup¬ 
ply of quadrats, such matter becomes lean 
and unprofitable. A careful examination of 
miscellaneous job work, like bill-heads, bills 
of lading, checks, displayed circulars, etc., 
will show that the surface area of the type 
is but half of the entire area. The other half 
must be quadrats, leads, quotations, furni¬ 
ture, etc. The provision of fat matter of this 
nature for a job office should be, in bulk, as 
great as that of type. Most job offices are 
sadly deficient in blanking-out material. 
Where this is the case, the compositor 
works to disadvantage, and the office 
loses more than the value of the deficient 
material. 

Get plenty of leads. The free use of leads 
is not only profitable in measurement, but is 
of economical advantage in extending the 
capacity of the font.

SUGGESTIONS 

When you order Type for newspaper or 
book work, state whether or not you want 
the fonts to contain italics, accents, leaders, 
fractions, or commercial rnar-ks. 

In ordering Sorts to match type you 
already have, state the number of the face 
as well as the size of the body; or, if you 
cannot do this, then send a capital H, and 
a lower case m (as little used as possible) 
of the fonts the sorts are to work with; 


TO PRINTERS. 

also state the number of pounds or ounces 
that you wish of each particular sort. 

Job Fonts, such as title, antique, clar¬ 
endon, ornamented, etc. (except scripts), 
are put up without spaces and quads, and 
if you want them to any size body, it will 
be necessary for you to mention it when 
ordering. 

Prices of type are subject to change from 
time to time.

CARE AND USE OF STEREOTYPE BLOCKS. 


To prevent wai'ping, blocks should never 
be sent to washing trough, nor allowed to lie 
on a wet stone. Where plates have to be 
cleaned up on press, use no more benzine 
than is needed ; when through cleaning, sop 
up with a moist sponge, and make dry with 
rags or waste. Blocks should be frequently 
cleaned and oiled, special care being taken 
to keep mortises and screw-threads free from 
dirt. When not in use, keep in a dry and 
close closet, where they will not be exposed 
to dust or to changes of temperature. 

Never order a set of blocks, nor make up 
a form of patent blocks for press, until you 
know the exact size of chase that must hold 
the blocks, and the thickness and position of 
its cross-bars. 

Ascertain also the exact size of paper for 
which the blocks are intended ; and whether 


the leaves of paper, after printing, are to be 
cut or uncut, and to be sewed or stitched. 

In making up blocks, if paper is to be un¬ 
cut and sewed, allow nothing for loss by 
waste on the fore edge; if it is to be side- 
stitched and trimmed, make suitable allow¬ 
ance for margin that will be cut off or 
concealed in binding. 

Always make up margins full to the paper 
that will be used, so that sheet can be evenly 
folded by edges, and trimmed, if necessary, 
after folding. Never make up blocks with 
i irregular margins that compel the cutting 
and waste of paper, before folding. 

When you can do so, put in every gutter, 
at every head, and on the sides of every 
cross-bar, one or two pieces of nonpareil or 
pica reglet, so that margins can be easily 
corrected if found faulty on first proof.

TYPE CASES. 

(Patented May 2,1871.) 

These patent type cases are of unusual strength, owing to the use of our 
patent brass clasp and long pin, which, being clinched to bottom of case, 

holds securely every partition. 
They are made in the very best 
manner, with hard wood frames 
and fillings. 

The accompanying cut shows 
our Patent Clasp for fastening 
corners of Type Cases. The par¬ 
titions are held firmly down by a 
long pin driven through the cen¬ 
tre of clasp and clinched to bot¬ 
tom of case. 

All material and workmanship 
are of the best. 

Every corner has a fastening, 
and the case cannot be broken 
by fair usage.

PATENT HINGE CASE. 


In this case, the boxes are brought within shorter and easier reacli of 
the compositor, enabling him to perform more work with less labor. 

By its hinged attachment, it occupies but half the rack-room of the or¬ 
dinary case. 

It saves eight inches at back of stands, as they can now set close together. 

It saves half the handling of cases, which is a great advantage to the 
compositor using three and four pairs, as is the case on daily newspapers. 

The accessibility of fractions, commercial signs and leaders, to the figure 
boxes, is a great convenience in setting market and stock reports, and gen¬ 
eral tabular matter. 

As the capital section of this case does not project above the top of 
stands, every compositor is brought into view, and the whole office is taken 
in at a glance.

R. HOE & CO’S PATENT IMPROVED CASES. 

To produce a satisfactory Type Case, the lumber must be free of blemish, 
it must be naturally seasoned, the constructor must have experience—as well 
of the best methods of manufacture as of the exact uses for which the finished 
article is designed. We lay in heavy stocks of the various woods consumed in

degree of perfection which enables us to turn out the heaviest orders with 
rapidity, accuracy, and economy—each case of its class being an exact fac¬ 
simile of the other. By this mathematical method of construction, our cases 
have attained their world-wide reputation.

Our Clamps so strengthen the partitions, that nothing short of actual vio¬ 
lence can injure them. We make two distinct Clamps—one of which 11 clamps” 
to the bottom of the case, the other passing through and clinching. Both are 
patented, and they can be used only in our manufacture, and cover every pos¬ 
sible method of “ clamping.”

H JOB CASE. 


49 


The Three-Quarter -Job Case (illustrated Page 48) is a condensation of 
the ordinary Job Case so long in the market, and is intended for Cabinet- 
purposes, but is furnished separately when desired. It is convenient for 
small fonts of body letter — for Upper and Lower job faces. It is entirely 
new of its class, and was constructed to meet the earnest wishes of numerous 
printers. The latest modern Cabinets are generally furnished, in part, with 
these cases, some of which are placed endwise to the window, with an ordinary 
Upper and Lower Case for plain composition on top. A row of Sort Drawers 
and these Cases furnish the front, and the inner end is supplied with Full Size 
Job and Triple Cases to suit the purchaser.

Laboi’-Saving Rule. 



Improved Labor-Saving Rule. 




Iii all composing rooms, more or less dust accumulates in tlie Type Cases. 
The above design represents Patent Type Sifter Case ; it is made with a wire 
gauze top, and by means of clamps, is fastened to the case to be cleaned. 
After the sifter is put in position, it is clamped at the foui comers 5 then the 
case is turned over, the clamps are removed, and if any dust has settled in the 
case it can be easily removed by a duster. The operation of turning the type 
into the sifter lets the dust fall through. Another feature of this arrangement 
is that when the cases become short, it is very easy to fill them np by taking 

from another case. . . 

We manufacture all sizes; for prices, see Page 41.

No. 23.—PATENT PROJECTING FRONT “ECONOMIC” 

CABINET. 


No. 23. 



This patent cabinet is an improvement on our Economic Cabinet, as the addition of 
the projecting front makes it also serviceable as a printer’s type-stand, at which the compos¬ 
itor can work. With all straight front cabinets this cannot be done, as there is no room for 
the compositor to assume a working position. 

It contains on the left 2 copy drawers and 20 two-third job cases, Yankee or Boston 
patterns; in the centre, safe receptacles for 6 brass galleys and 1G full-sized job cases ; on 
the right, 2 more copy drawers and 20 two-third job cases, or an equal number of pair or 
triple cases, to suit purchaser; on the left upper surface are subdivisions for labor-saving 
leads of various thicknesses, from 4-em pica up, and on the right are spaces for the larger 
display type, face up, both of which are sunk sufficiently to admit of putting up a pair of 
cases, left and right, without injury to their contents; and in the centre upper surface there 
is (always uncovered) every convenience for labor-saving rules, combination borders, right 
and left ornaments, etc., and standing galley room. 

Two extra pairs of cases go with each cabinet, and are not shown in cut, for the accom¬ 
modation of the two 56-lb. fonts of bod^ letter; two of the job cases accommodate their 
italics. 

This cabinet occupies a space only 3X8 feet, and embraces the necessary stands, cases, 
cabinets, galley rack, etc., for an office which, with ordinary furniture, would require a room 
15 X 20 feet. 

It will thus be seen that the compositor has, in this cabinet, his material concentrated, 
directly under his eye, and within reach ; and there is thus a great saving, both in time and 
wear and tear.

PATENT WINDOW CABINET, WITH PROJECTING 
FRONTS, A AND B STYLES, DOUBLE. 

This cabinet is made to stand on the side of a room, near the windows, and 
has the advantage of economy of space, and of giving compositors the best 
light possible for their work. The type cases are arranged so that they can 
be used by any of the hands in the office without interfering with the man at 
work. Heretofore, in cabinets where job fonts have been stored, this was not 
possible, the compositors being often delayed and annoyed by others coming 
to the cabinet for different lines of type.
